I think he owes us more than he’s given us.

He doesn't owe me a thing!

I met him in 1963 in a private home in Houston. After he left we were told he would be the first man to walk on the moon. What amazed me was they had planned that far ahead. He was a new astronaut at the time.

He couldhave used his fame to promote the space program and encourage young people to join in he venture. He didn’t. I admire him as much as anyone for his bravery. He could have done more.
